I'm holdin' on your rope got me 10 feet off the ground, I'm hearin' what you say but I just can't make a sound, you tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait you tell me that your sorry, didn't think I'd turn around and say that it's too late to apologize.

She fell to her knees, blood leaking out from her mouth. "Is that really all you can do? I don't even have a bruise on me! Worthless and weak, that's what you are." Her father turned away from her and headed inside, "Dismissed."

Hinata coughed up more blood, "He doesn't mean it." Her cousin Neji and her sister Hanabi, had dropped down beside her with bandages and all sorts of medicines.

"Yeah, nii-chan, he's sorry on the inside. He just won't admit it." Hanabi said, giving her older sister a reassuring smile.

"It's too late to apologize." Hinata said, getting up and heading to the training grounds, leaving her family members in shock at what she had said.

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you, oh and I need you like a heart needs a beat but that's nothing new, yeah I loved you with the fire red, now it's turning blue and you say sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid It's too late to apologize, too late, yeah it's too late.

She had done it. She had finally built up her courage and was going to tell Naruto. "Naruto?"

He looked over at her, "Hi Hinata! What's up?"

"I just wanted to tell you something..."

"Really? What?"

Her cheeks burned bright red, "I've really really liked you for a long time now and was wondering if maybe you liked me back?"

Naruto just looked around, all awkwardly, "Um, Hinata. I don't feel the same way. I love Sakura. I'm so sorry, I know..."

"Save it. It's too late to apologize." Hinata turned away from her love and just walked out, leaving Naruto staring after her.

It's too late to apologize, I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late. I'm holdin' on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground.

It had been a few years but Hinata made it through. In the end, she did end up with a husband, not Naruto or anyone you'd think. But, Sasuke Uchiha. They met just minutes after Hinata had confessed to Naruto. And the one thing she truly loved about Sasuke? He never apologized for messing up, because he never did mess up when it came to her.
